plants that I can plant between stepping stones??

Thanks Seandor for the link to those sites. Eleanor

That one is nice Pirl, but it's not the one I had. Mine was no more than 1/2 inch or less high and tight like a carpet.

Sedum requieni?

Doesn't ring a bell.

Deep sigh!

hahahah

Hey Grammy...you live just up the road from me. Well not too far away that is!! Glens Falls is a hop skip and a jump away.

dpoitras - Hi, glad to meet you! I'd say it's just a hop and a skip away!! Eleanor

I was researching the same thing but for shade.
My dream house is a victorian. I'd love to see your houses. The main street in the town next to ours is filled with victorians, we have to drive thru it to get home. They also have a garden club I'm considering getting involved with. They have a garden tour every year. I'd love to see the gardens and was hoping they do tours of the houses too, love them.

I have been thinking about joining a garden club too. I could learn and share so much from and with others. And I think it would be fun. I only know a couple of other people who like to garden.

Jen - for shade there are all kinds of mosses that look great.

I have a stone walk and have tried several varieties of thyme between the stones. Thymus serphyllum (Mother of Thyme), "Elfin", "Minus" and Lemon thyme all are under 2 inches tall and work well. Any other thyme variety that is 4" or more tall grows too high for walking comfort unless you shear it with the lawnmower. My wife also complained that the taller varieties attracted bees which bothered her, but the shorter ones don't seem to, so I am gradually moving the tall ones to the strip between the sidewalk and the road that the subdivision developer filled with such junky soil that the grass I planted has succumbed to the weeds. The thyme does well there.

Thanks for the tip, Don :-) Do the short ones have a fragrance?

I ordered seeds from Hazzards for the 2" plants. They are most like what I already have. Question: Can I plant those seeds now or should I wait until next spring? Eleanor

When you receive the plants plant them immediately. They'll get established before winter.

pirl - they are seeds!! Eleanor

Aha! Then try half of the package. If they grow plant the other half of the package.

Seandor:
The short plants (small thymers?) don't seem to have as much fragrance as the taller ones.

Well, I guess I might have to plant taller thyme along the edge of the path and shorter thyme in between the stones :-)

Thanks Pirl - sounds like good plan! Eleanor

The seed idea is really a good idea! Don't have to wait too long for the seeds to spread. It will fill in nice..I'm thinking about trying that in the spring. I take it you guys have had good luck with hazzard seeds. The name is a little funny...hazzard makes me want to take caution ;)

You can always think "the Dukes of...." makes me laugh to think Uncle Jessie selling seeds instead of moonshine.
